1972 d100 green. What green name or code is this?

1972 d100 green. What green name or code is this? - 12/31/13 03:50 AM

Been tossing around the idea of going back to the green my truck originally was. It's just an idea. Most likely I'll stick with the Chrysler red that's on it, but if I can find out what green it is, I may consider painting it original color

Cleaning up my engine bay before the new motor goes in, so its now or never for paint color lol. I'm just glad the spray paint is coming off rather easily.

there are 6 different greens, available on trucks, in 1972. better find a paint code color chip chart.

I agree, FL has some forestry trucks that color and also have a dark forest green on the fresh water & game trucks.

to me that looks like the mint green or the forestry truck color.

I got a look at a few color sheets. but was focused on the 78 only centron green.

my 85 stepside is the dark forest green(?) that is a 2 yr only color.

it is all the color of $$$$ no matter what the color chart says.

My first '72 power wagon was that color, with a white roof.

I didn't order it, or even buy it new, it was a repo with a blown engine. Only a year old.

Wasn't all that fond of the color, though there some slightly different, more "minty green" GM colors that aren't too bad.

My truck appears to have been the same color. Here's a link from when I was asking about it last year. The you tube link in the respones shows what the full truck looks like that color.

I had a '72 that color (or close to it). It was called sea foam green. Just tossing it out there for ya.

My first new truck was a '74 PW in that color. IIRC, it was just called "Light Green".
Found it here-

They don't show it available until '74 for some reason.

On the Sweptline trucks (61-71) I have always seen it refered to as turf green.

This link for 72 Dodge Truck doesn't say turf green, but does have codes for a green and a medium green.

Doggone it, they changed colors. The later Medium Green isn't quite as soft a color as my Turf Green.

But the picture looks very very much like my '64 Turf Green truck.

After more checking, the DT7567 Turf Green was used later years as simply Green and was a fleet color, probably mostly used on Forest Service trucks. Ditzler code 42770. That is my best guess as to what's on the OP's truck.

Looks a lot like faded desert turquoise. I had a 72 in that color. Never have seen another. It ended up in parts at Carlisle... I have pictures on my other computer.
